Netbook Cases

Fitting all Netbooks up to 11.1”, this premium iTech sleeve is great value. Made from durable, black neoprene fabric with a silver edging, it will offer substantial protection to your Netbook. Not only is this water resistent, it also has an anti-shock outer cushioning and a scratch resistant inner lining. Its handy double-ended zip opens up all the way round so the sleeve opens out flat when your Netbook is in use. This will easily fit Netbooks in the Samung nc10, Acer Aspire ONE ’s and Toshiba nb200 ranges. At less than £5 it’s an absolute bargain!

This iGadgitz branded netbook cover is custom made for the 10.1 inch Toshiba NB200. It is designed to fit -10G, -10Z, -110 and -11H models, although it can be a bit of a squeeze if you have the extended (6 or 9 cell) battery attached. Manufactured from high quality 100% polyurethane material, the splash proof design offers a degree of protection and the soft inner will help to prevent scratches and the like.

Considering that most NB200 are supplied without a cover, this offering from iGadgitz is a sensible purchase at an incredible price.

Finished in high-grade neoprene fabric, this case from Belkin offers excellent value for money. As you would expect, the quality is superb and it looks good too. We  particularly like it in the Jet/Cabernet (pictured). Access is provided by an asymmetrical zip, so you can get hold of your netbook  from both the top and the side.

It is available in two sizes: one for netbooks up to 10.2in and one for those up to 12.1in. Whilst it should fit most UK netbooks up to the size suggested, the sleeve is very snug fitting, so it is worth checking all the dimensions before purchasing.

A great, low cost way to keep your netbook secure and free from scratches.

For those wishing to carry not only their netbook, but also a range of accessories and peripherals, the Messenger bag from Ultimateaddons could offer the perfect solution. Newly available in black, the bag certainly looks great on the outside, with the 1000D Nylon and finished seems giving it a real feel of quality.

Inside, the main pocket is extremely well cusioned and will hold most netbooks from 8.9″ to 10.2″, with a velcro strap ensuring that your precious cargo is kept securely in place. The stand out feature of the bag however, is the simply the number of smaller pockets for storing those all important accessories, such as chargers and external drives – it even has slots for your cards and pens!

With an adjustable and cushioned shoulder strap, this really is a great bag for transporting your gear in style.

Although this sleeve from Sweex is designed to fit netbooks up to 10″, we actually tested it with our 10.2″ Samsung NC10 and the fit was fine. It is made from Neoprene, the material often used in wetsuits, so it should help protect your netbook from scuffs and scratches, whilst also offering some protection from the weather. The zip compartment on the front is a useful addition for protecting things such as earphones and removable media, although it is not really large enough to hold your charger.

If you just need basic protection, we think this cheap little sleeve offers great value.

Let’s face it, the sleeve that comes with the Samsung NC10 offers very little in terms of protection. This offering from Cool Bananas is made of Neoprene, which should help to protect your netbook against both scratches and soft shocks and as it fits the NC10 perfectly, we think it is a worthy replacement for the price.

For those wanting something a bit more funky, this hot pink polka dot case from Oliepops could be perfect! The main pockets should fit most netbooks with screens up to 12.1″ wide. There is plenty of room for your charger and mouse, and the lid features pockets for pens, business cards and other bits of kit.

The girl on the go can choose to use either the small carry handle, or the shoulder strap, which can be adjusted or removed completely.

This great little case from Belkin should fit most netbooks up up to 8.9-Inch. Finished in a black quilted fabric, it feels extremely well made for such a low cost product and with a removable strap, it can be used as a sleeve or as a carrying case. The only slight downside is that there are no separate pockets or compartments to keep any accessories organised on the move.

If you own an Acer Aspire One, then this could well be the case for you. Not only will it protect your netbook from those inevitable bumps, but we feel the quality of case actually improves the look of the One, making it look like a more grown up bit of kit.

Stylish and well made, the case features space for spare memory cards and the like and as the ports and vents are fully accessible, you can use your netbook without removing it. The only slight niggle is that the top flap is not connected to the screen, so it hangs loose if it is open.
